"Take a few minutes to go up and see the situation." After Guan Heng said these words, Seraqi and Tingsi both nodded, so the Snow Beast jumped up and down on the protruding rocks next to it. After a few ups and downs, he jumped to the upper part of the cliff.
After seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was awe-inspiring. It turned out that there was a clearing in the forest beside the water. It has now become a battlefield in the forest. The smell of death is spreading everywhere, and dozens of bodies are still bleeding. Bodies were scattered everywhere, lying on the ground.
Brother and sister Guan Heng and Seraqi turned over and climbed down from the back of the Snow Beast. When they took a closer look, they found that these dead people all looked like demons. They were old and young, male and female, and they were also wearing several vehicles. The cart pulled by the alien beasts from the demonic realm seemed to be a family migrating.
After a few more glances, Guan Heng found that the dead young demons were either carrying bows and arrows, or holding various weapons. They were obviously very skilled bodyguards, but before their weapons were even unsheathed, they had already been attacked. When it came to the surprise attack, the opponent was obviously more swift and stealthy, attacking ruthlessly and leaving no trace. At this time, Guan Heng walked up to a dead old demon clan man.
"Hey, what is this?!" Guan Heng saw that the stiffened corpse was still holding something in his hand, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it off, then started to look at it, and then took a second look. Guan Heng's face suddenly became solemn, and he He slowly breathed out a sigh of relief: "Huh... is what is said here true?"
"Brother Guan Heng, come here quickly!" At this moment, Tingsi suddenly screamed at the top of her voice: "There is someone here who seems to have not completely died."
"Huh?! There's actually someone alive!" Guan Heng and Seraqi next to him looked at each other and immediately ran in the direction of Tingsi's shout.
"This... is a child?" When Guan Heng ran there, he saw clearly that Tingsi was holding an eleven or twelve-year-old demon girl, and she had already fainted with her eyes closed tightly.
At this moment, Tingsi said: "I accidentally discovered that the child was stuffed into a box. She seemed not to be injured, but she just closed her breath."
As she spoke, Tingsi patted the little girl's back lightly, and the little girl coughed loudly: "Ouch...cough..." Guan Heng asked at this time: "Hey, kid , who are you? Why are you here?"
"Huh...huh..." The little demon girl gasped and murmured slowly: "My name is Solanya, I am the daughter of Lord Malong from a remote territory in this area..."
Immediately afterwards, the little demon girl named Solanya told what happened to her.
It turns out that just a few days ago, all the small lords in the Second Abyss territory received an obituary notice and learned of the shocking change.
It turns out that Hulkinson, the great lord of the Second Abyss and the third brother of the demon lord Pang En, died suddenly in his lord's mansion in the "Horn Demon Ridge" due to an old injury suffered during the past expedition to the Ashton Continent.
Hulkinson seemed to have a premonition about his death date, so he left a will, claiming that he would pass on his position as lord to one of the eight minor lords of the Second Abyss.
These eight people are: the little lord of Gulangyouhai - Bo Keli; the little lord of Golden Desert - Su Lang; the little lord of Dasen Ridge, Galin, the little lord of Bloodbird Ridge, the brothers Gaben; and the Crystal Tomb Cave. The small lord of Fang Fei; the small lord of Stone Demon Cliff - Ai Fa; the small lord of Horn Rhinoceros Hunting Ground - Gurta; the small lord of remote territory - Ma Long.
Hulkinson's will did not specify who the lordship would be passed on to, it just said that no matter which minor lord was the first one to come to the Horn Demon Ridge to express condolences for him, he would be his heir.
This is a great thing. The eight little lords all have their own ambitions, and they all want to reach the sky in one step. Therefore, as soon as they received the obituary notice, they rushed to the Horn Demon Ridge with their family members and their own bodyguards. .
This includes Solanya's father, Ma Long, a small lord in a remote territory. Among the eight small lords, Malong's fiefdom is the smallest, with low taxes and barren land. He has to be careful all year round to barely maintain the family. Food and clothing.
Malone regarded Hulkinson's death notice and will as his own life-saving charm, trying to use this opportunity to obtain the inheritance rights of the Second Abyss Lord and improve his family's plight.
Taking a step back, even if Malone was not the first little lord to arrive at the Horn Demon Ridge to express condolences to Helkinson, then he would still want to take his daughter Solanya to settle there and not leave, because there are remote territories They are too poor to survive.
But Ma Long never expected that he, his daughter, and his bodyguards would be suddenly attacked by an unidentified killer when they were halfway there, and they all died here.
"After my father, Ma Long, met a killer, he was seriously injured and fell down a waterfall. He was washed away by the water... The old housekeeper saw this and stuffed me into a box, and I escaped..."
Guan Heng heard Solanya sobbing and talking about this. The little girl was already sobbing and extremely sad. Tingsi looked at her pity and started to comfort her softly.
At this time, Guan Heng looked at the obituary he picked up from the deceased. He knew that what the little girl said was not false at all, but who had killed Ma Long and his group with ruthless hands? And know it.
Guan Heng thought for a while, and then asked Solanya: "Do you have any relatives now?"
"Uh... I have a brother named Karl. The day before yesterday, my father had asked him to use his fastest mount to go to the Horn Demon Ridge to prepare a place for us to stay." Solanya wiped her tears and said, "I think he might Still alive.”
"Guan Heng..." At this moment, Serach tugged Guan Heng's sleeve, called him to the side and asked, "What are we going to do with this little girl?"
"In addition to the obituary, I just found this." Guan Heng shook the things in his hand in front of the other party, which was an animal skin terrain map and a round metal plate, and then said: "Anyway, we also We are going to the Hulkinson Mansion in the Horn Demon Ridge to find the fragments of the teleportation array, so why not send the little girl there to find her brother Karl, what do you think?"
"Okay, anyway, you are the team leader, and Tingsi and I will listen to you." Serach shrugged and said, "Anyway, escorting a child along the way is not a burden to us."
"Yeah." Guan Heng nodded slightly. He turned around and walked to Solanya. He showed the map and the metal plate and asked, "Do you know how to read this map? I don't quite understand the markings on it."
Solanya blinked and said, "Oh, this map needs to be used in conjunction with the 'path plate' in your hand."
